Is every single part of this press stainless steel? No plastic whatsoever, anywhere, not framing the filter (as in model 1308), not in the lid?

filter frame is plastic w/ silicone seal around perimeter; sleeve through steel lid for bar to slide in is plastic and broke on mine in first year. Still works fine. Other than that it is very sturdy and makes great coffee.

Pot is solid SS - only the handle is some type of plastic - has no problem in dishwasher. The top also has a plastic handle and the screen frame is also plastic with a rubber gasket. I don't put this in dishwasher - didn't want to risk it and assumed the high heat would not be good for the rubber - might shorten it's life. The whole thing is very well made. I've used it every day for most of a couple years and all I'll say is yummm...that's good coffee.

KDavies, the filter looks to be some sort of nylon weave, the frame for the filter is a strong, dense, high quality plastic. I have seen people get very upset by this, but my familiarity with plastics used in the medical and scientific fields gives me reason to feel it is not a problem. I have been using mine for years with no apparent degradation of the plastics involved, no change to the surface from a hard, glossy plastic.

Yes it seems to be completely stainless although as you can see the plunger is a black rubber/dense plastic material nothing that touches the coffee is plastic.

The black sides are plastic. Additionally, I think the "metal" looking face is also but I am not able to look at this time because I am away from home. Point being- the unit has a lot of plastic. I replaced the Viking with a Breville Go-Brew w/ the stainless carafe. That unit has a metal encasement and I really think it is the best coffe maker I've had in the house to date. Love the Breville.

If I understand your question then it is plastic. The piece and the end of the metal rod, right? I have to admit, since I bought it I bought a second for work, it is the best quality press I have owned. Let me know if you have any other qs

Hi Bill, good evening. As far as I can remember, it has no plastic part but the filter as I recall is aluminum. I hope this helps.

Yes. Its totally stainless & there are no plastic parts. I have been enjoying mine!

The entire lid IS stainless.. Not plastic. Silicone & mesh plunger very sturdy AND you can replace it as needed, if the silicone wears down. There is plastic on the rim of the mesh that covers the pour spout but again seems pretty sturdy.

There isn't any plastic except for the little knobby handle on the lid, and of course, the pot's handle. The only thing I see that MIGHT be aluminum is the little halfround well that the "pipe" sits in.

No plastic parts. All stainless steel and really a wonderful dehydrator that I highly recommend!

I believe it is. It is labeled "stainless steel" on the bottom. The top and bottom pieces are definitely stainless. The inner filter piece is not labeled, but I am 99.9% sure that it is stainless as well. Those are basically the only metal parts.

No. The filter basket assembly is partly plastic with a very fine metal mesh. The seal on the press feels like silicone. Other than discoloration, I have not had any problems with it or think it is deteriorating in any way.

No it does not. I purchased it because I had concerns about the plastic in my old coffee pot. It is all stainless steel except for the handle and of the coarse the top has a glass peculator cup to see the coffee while it perks. We love the pot it makes a great cup of coffee and it is HOT!!!

The one I had was plastic. The only thing stainless is the motor. You should check out the Breville.

Luben: there is no plastic inside the lid; only stainless steel. The screw for the knob does not even go through.

It appears to be all stainless steel - no plastic components whatsoever. Item is very well made also.

No plastic inside. However, I had several other issues with this coffee maker, but it all comes down to very bad tasting coffee. I do not think the water was hot enough. Coffee was always bitter.

The upper and lower filters are both stainless steel. No aluminum at all in this coffee maker.I have a pot on the stove as we speak!
